At least one person has been killed in an apartment fire on Chicago's West Side.

Firefighters were called to the 2nd floor of an apartment building in the 500-block of South Lavergne. They began to put out the fire, and found a 62-year-old man dead on the floor of his apartment. Authorities say the man was bedridden, but had been checked on earlier that afternoon.
